Two common denominators, the track surface and the owner. I wouldn't either, The Facebook happy clappers would certainly turn up though.

I'd love to know who these nut job new fans are that'll know nothing about King's Lynn, just sign up to BSN & splash ££s for it? There is no such person. There's not one existing Speedway fan out there that doesn't know King's Lynn is a poor watch. British Speedway absolutely needs people to just say how it is on live TV. Stadia is closing, in poor condition, appalling racing etc. People's eyes in 2023 can no longer be deceived, honesty is the only way forward.

Not by choice I don't think, the usual track curator was wearing a sling. I also saw Buster speak with Artem and Nicolai after the parade and from what I gathered by the conversation, they didn't seem all too impressed by the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 8 hours ago, lisa-colette said: Being positive might. How is anyone saying a track is rubbish going to attract new fans? But if the commentator praised the track & said how good it was then any new comer would think how bad is the sport on a poor track. Can’t blame the guy for speaking the truth, far better than the Eurosport line of a large crowd in tonight then only to pan round to see one man & his dog in attendance!

cowboy cookie returns? Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Still certainly answered the question of who is the better rider Emil or Artem, Emil by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Although I'm not an Ipswich fan, I have to admit that Doyle and Sayfutdinov are on a different planet to any other rider in the UK. Simply outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you feeling alright ? You can watch a one off. Just bored of the negativity and the same people moaning new fans don't stick around. Maybe if promoted right people will and commentators play a part in it as I know new fans watch TV/stream before going to a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a commentator saying how good it is would be far worse, it’s up to those in charge to ensure the product is something that excites & people want to watch no some half baked propaganda from the commentators. it would be like something from escape to victory!

I think to answer that question you need to take their performances over a whole season, in Poland as well as the UK. What isn't in any doubt is their respective commitment and effort in the UK, Emil is miles ahead in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, BSN are at Poole next week and I'm sure Roynon (and Shovlar) will be gushing about the track... while we're all falling asleep 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV/streaming coverage isn’t there to promote the sport, it is there to cover the sport.

It used to be a cracking race track and I would happily travel over from Leicester as a neutral to watch some great Speedway. For whatever reason (mainly cost I would suspect) the shale was changed some years ago and now although it can still be pretty good on occasion it's a shadow of the race track it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no doubt mostly down to cost and also partly down to supply haps, im sure ive read before that shale is getting harder and harder to get and it all comes from up north of the country, pretty sure it ain't cheap to transport a wagon full of the stuff either and Buster likes to save money everywhere he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
